Chapter 2813 Phantom Haunted Room (Thirteen)

Chapter 2787 Phantom Haunted Room (Thirteen)

As soon as it was midnight, Schiller climbed back into the room through the window. The alarm rang very punctually, but this time, the entire right corridor only rang twice, and the entire 19th floor only rang four times.

In other words, one of the people in Room 1901 and Room 1903 had a problem. It was no longer judged to be uncontaminated, but it was very likely that it had been completely contaminated.

Which one would it be?

But Schiller didn't have time to think about these things for the time being. He knew that if his hotel was in the past, the hotel where Peter was would be more dangerous, and Peter's ability was insufficient. Schiller had to give him enough guidance, otherwise he would probably have a hard time surviving.

Now the common point that can be found in the two hotels is the alarm clock. Schiller found an alarm clock in his room, and Peter opened the door of Room 1903 and got an alarm clock in the water tank of the toilet.

Jerome said that the sound of the alarm clock is a detection procedure, and it will only ring when there is a living person in the room, but Peter also spent a night in that hotel. He said that he didn't hear anything at night, which means that the alarm clock on the 19th floor where he was didn't ring once.

Then there are some problems, because in addition to Peter, Jerome is also a living person on the entire floor, which means that if the detection device is still working properly, the alarm clock on the 19th floor should ring at least twice, even if Jerome has a problem, the alarm clock in Peter's room should ring.

Schiller asked Peter to find the alarm clock in the room. Peter just had a good sleep and felt that he was in a good mental state, so he followed Schiller's instructions and began to search his hotel room to find the alarm clock.

However, he searched and searched but couldn't find it. In the closet where Schiller found the alarm clock, there was no trace of the existence of the alarm clock.

This is unlikely, Schiller thought, unless he took the alarm clock somewhere else.

Because I am in the past on the timeline, all my actions will affect Peter. If I choose to leave the alarm clock, Peter will not be able to find it. If Peter can't find it, it means that I have moved the alarm clock somewhere else.

Why did I do this?

It is impossible to speculate now, but it is very likely because of some information he got in the next few days, that is, Schiller in the next few days thought that it would be better if the alarm clock was not in the room than in the room.

But at this time point where Schiller is, the detection device is still working normally. Only when the alarm clock rings can the room be guaranteed to be safe. If Schiller moves the alarm clock to another place, the unknown creature wandering in the corridor with the sound of the elevator may come in.

What makes Schiller take such a risk to take the alarm clock away and prevent Peter from touching it?

There is another clue about the alarm clock, that is, the person in room 1903 chose to put the alarm clock in the toilet tank.

Judging from the current situation, if Peter's time period is really in the future, the possibility of a complete improvement is too small. It is more likely that everything in that time period is an illusion.

The tall and short people in rooms 1901 and 1903 are likely to have been completely contaminated, which is why they did not show any struggle, but were completely controlled.

Following this line of thought, the short person in room 1903 who was completely controlled chose to put the alarm clock into the water tank. This behavior must be beneficial to him, which means that it is not good for him to put the alarm clock in the water tank.

Is the detection device still working properly?

The idea is back again. If the detection device is still working properly, why didn't Peter hear any sound?

Schiller thought of another possibility, that is, everyone on the 19th floor interfered with the work of the alarm clock like the short person in room 1903.

This is very likely. It is known that there are two forces in the hotel. One is desperately contaminating the guests, and the other wants to prevent the spread of pollution and set up a detection device. Once the pollution is found to be too deep, the cleaning program will be started.

The result of the game between the two parties is obviously that the latter lost, because at the time when Peter was there, the hotel still had problems, but peace was restored on the surface, and the terrible pollution was hidden deeper.

Since the party that caused the pollution won, they must have a way to invalidate the detection device set up, and the method may be to put the alarm clock in the water tank of the toilet like in Room 1903.

Now it is past 12 o'clock, and there is still no sound from Peter's side. The alarm clock in Room 1903 is now in his hand, not in the water tank, which proves that the alarm clock may be completely broken.

Alarm clocks are afraid of water?

No, it may not be simple water.

Schiller has been thinking, is the toilet in Room 1905 broken really an accident? Whose toilet sprays water out as soon as the flush button is pressed? How can there be such a bad method?

The flush toilet does not have a device to spray water out. No matter how bad it is, it is impossible to install such a powerful water spray device out of thin air. This cannot be explained by a bad circuit.

Schiller can imagine that if the people who come here are unprepared and hear that the toilet in room 1905 is broken, they may not touch it, but there is a certain possibility that they will check it, and then there is a greater probability that they will be sprayed with water.

There must be a source of pollution for the guests in the hotel to be contaminated. The source of pollution contaminates the guests in the hotel through some medium, and this medium is likely to be water.

In the Cthulhu mythology system, water is a very important image. Let's put it this way. In any group game, as long as someone is described as dripping with water, don't hesitate, run away.

Although Schiller's target this time may be a certain outer god, from the perspective of conspiracy arrangement alone, water is also a very useful thing. Humans are naturally close to water sources and will not be too defensive against water. Even if they are splashed with water from the water tank, they will at most curse and change clothes, but they will not think of disinfection.

So the toilet is likely to be a trap, waiting for someone to check it, and then spraying the other person with water, so that they can be contaminated.

Although the specific situation in Room 1901 and Room 1903 is still unknown, Schiller speculates that these two guests may have been infected in this way, and at this point in time, they may not realize that they have been infected.

This is the terrible thing about the Cthulhu mythology system. It is more of a cognitive distortion of human pollution. For example, in Room 1901, the head is no longer on the neck, and he may still think that he is fine and wants to open the door to go out for breakfast.

Schiller immediately reminded Peter not to touch any device in the room that might produce water, but he knew it was a little late, because after Peter entered Room 1903, he took the alarm clock out of the water tank, and he had already touched the water at that time.

However, Schiller thought about it carefully and found some problems. If he was the mastermind behind all this, he would not deliberately make a broken toilet, because there must be someone who is not the kind of nosy person who would not touch it when he heard it was broken.

If water is the medium of pollution, then just wait for people to wash their hands or take a bath. Generally, even if guests who stay for two or three days do not take a bath, they must wash their hands. Even if they do not wash their hands, they must drink water.

So Schiller guessed that the source of this pollution may not be able to pollute all the water, or the water that can be polluted is not endless for him, so he has to use it sparingly.

It is similar to the sprinkler always being used in conjunction with the smoke alarm. If you really want to prevent fires, the sprinkler should work 24 hours a day to ensure that any flame can be extinguished, but that may affect normal life and waste water, so a detection device is installed to detect smoke and then spray water.

The working principle of this pollution medium is probably the same as these two things. It is not that whoever touches the water will be polluted, but whoever does something will be sprayed with water.

For example, Schiller pressed the flush button of the toilet.

It is possible that when he did not press the flush button, he would not be polluted if he put his hand into the water tank or even into the toilet. Only the wave of water sprayed out by pressing the flush button would have problems.

Schiller told Peter his guess, which made Peter feel a little relieved. He also secretly raised his vigilance in his heart and vowed that he would never touch anything in the future. If he could avoid touching anything, he would avoid it.

If the detection device is still working normally as Schiller guessed, then the most important thing for them now is to repair the alarm clock, but Schiller did not choose to do so.

Because it is obvious that Peter's 19th floor was basically hopeless at that time. No one else rang the alarm, but you rang it in your room. Everyone knew that you were an ordinary person. If Peter was besieged, Schiller could not save him now.

Then Schiller began to think again, why did he take the alarm clock out instead of leaving it in the room for Peter? This may be some measures he will take in the future.

Maybe it has something to do with the decreasing number of rings.

There were only two rings in the corridor on the right side of the 19th floor tonight, which means that someone in rooms 1901 and 1903 must have been completely finished.

And if the rings in the corridor on the right side and even the entire 19th floor became less and less, and only Schiller was left in the end, then Schiller would definitely be more inclined to throw the alarm clock out, otherwise he would face the same situation as Peter, that is, being targeted by these things on the 19th floor that are no longer human.

It is true that the detection device will act on the things in the room after it cannot detect the ringing sound, but at Peter's time, the people in rooms 1901 and 1903 were fine.

This means that the detection device must have started to fail at Schiller's time. Otherwise, if there was no sound in one person's room tonight, one person must have been completely eliminated, and Peter would not have been able to see both of them at the same time.

Inversely, the two people in rooms 1901 and 1903 must not be saved, otherwise they would not have appeared in normal posture at Peter's time.

No matter which one had a problem tonight, the other one would soon be gone, and it would definitely be too late to save people.

So Schiller chose to give up decisively and planned to go far away. At present, Peter did not know the situation in the left corridor. If the situation was good, there might be survivors in the left corridor. It would be better to pay attention to the two sounds in the left corridor.

Only two of the six rooms in the left corridor had sounds, which meant that the other four were also wiped out.

If Schiller was asked to guess which two of the six rooms had people in them, Schiller must first exclude 1913. This room was very wrong and it was unlikely that there were living people in it.

According to my own speculation, the last three rooms destroyed in the corridor on the right are 1901, 1903 and 1905, all of which are odd numbers. This means that some kind of supernatural phenomenon may appear according to the rule of odd and even numbers, and the odd-numbered rooms here have a higher survival rate.

Then the rooms on the left may also follow some rules. After excluding 1913, there are only two odd-numbered rooms left, namely 1907 and 1909.
